Distilleria Mezzanotte Spietato Amaro (70cl)

Spietato is an amaro from Distilleria Mezzanotte, a small artisan distillery in the Marche region. It is made using only organic alcohol. Its recipe is built on a bitter base of red cinchona, gentian and black tea, with herbal and citrus notes of sage, tarragon, verbena and lemon. The label uses old-school tattoo imagery, including a hand holding a star, a poison vial and the Devil tarot card. On the nose it offers delicate herbal and smoky rhubarb notes. On the palate it is bitter and herbal, with notes of sage, verbena and black tea. It is best served neat over ice with a lemon zest.
